Time for a Change!

For most Americans Nov 4th was the historic moment....I will admit it was a heart warming moment for me. I sat in a hotel room and shared the moment with millions of Americans, screaming with pride! Barack Obama became the first Black to become president!

Change is an interesting concept...many folks (myself included) make New Years resolutions about changing bad habits and then they fail miserably. Both parties for the presidential campaign used slogans that toted the word change. Each candidate laid out their version of what changes would be made under their guidance. Now that Barack has won, many will expect immediate changes. I am hopeful he makes the changes our country needs, but more importantly I am willing to work for those changes. After Nov 4th passed by I realized that the word change could just be lip service if you are not committed to actually doing the hard work.

So for me change means working hard to see the end results. It takes commitment and perseverance to be the change that you want. It also takes support. No one can change alone, well at least not me...I need support. For me I need the help of my friends and family.

Thanks to my friends and family, who understood that I needed to see the worst of humanity in order to remember the beauty of it and to realize my own strengths.

So I am off to see the world, and be the change I am seeking, especially now that I don't have any distractions or annoyances. Watch out world!
